FOREWORD 

On my Fiftieth Birthday (Sunday, 
September 22, 1918), after a good day's 
work, I start, in the afternoon, to spend 
the few hours before our evening meal 
in writing down some ideas that may help 
others (besides myself, who need them as 
much as anyone, since I am beginning my 
second half -century) , to indulge less in 
that habit of fear, worry, resentment, and 
hurry, which must be regarded as a form 
of suicide, slow indeed, but working in 
a vicious circle and with self increasing 
force, and poisoning and paralysing others 
besides the respectable offenders them- 
selves. 

The chief remedy is — keep happy. 

[5] 



FOREWORD 

We have had our attention so fixed on 
prohibitions — the "Thou shalt not" Com- 
mandments — that we have, as a Nation, 
ignored the positive commandments of 
the Old and New Testaments; among 
which a very frequently repeated one was 
"Rejoice" or "Keep Happy." Others, 
besides the Master, told us not to worry, 
not to be afraid, not to be angry, not to be 
bitter; but to be glad and happy. The 
orthodox should remember that Happi- 
ness is a virtue, however unusual, and 
Non-Happiness a sin, however common 
and respectable. 

I give one quotation alone — though the 
usual translation does not convey the real 
force of the Greek words of Philippians iv. 
4-7:— 

"Rejoice in the Lord always: and again 
I say, Rejoice . . . The Lord is at hand. 
Be careful (anxious) for nothing; but in 

[6] 



FOREWORD 

everything by prayer and supplication 
with thanksgiving let your requests be 
made known unto God" 

C. D. Larson's book, "Just be Glad," 
was on my table, and gave me the thought 
of writing on this subject. Larson offers 
capital ideas on the mental side, but he 
does not tell people how to be glad; and, 
especially, he leaves out all the Physical 
Helps. 

In this little Birthday offering, I shall 
include a few Physical as well as Mental 
Helps — a few out of many, since space is 
limited — so that readers may be able to 
keep happy easily. 

The art is not new, but — like the habit 
of deep, full, rhythmical breathing — is 
always needed. 

There are millions who have scarcely 
begun to recognise, ait least to the extent 
of acting upon the facts, that, while their 
[7] 



FOREWORD 

Happiness itself depends largely upon 
their digestion, their elimination of waste 
matter, their circulation, etc., these in- 
fluences themselves depend largely on ( 1 ) 
the choice of foods and drinks, the way of 
eating and drinking, the breathing and 
other exercises, and so forth — and on (2) 
the maintenance of Happiness itself, or 
at least the avoidance of worry and resent- 
ment, etc., and the expression of Happi- 
ness, until Happiness actually is attracted 
and comes into a prepared nest.

KEEP HAPPY 



KEEP HAPPY 

Why Keep Happy? A Contrast 

First work out the contrast. Before 
reading further, think what happens when 
one keeps the opposite of happy, whatever 
be the actual stage between the extreme 
homicidal or suicidal violence or suicidal 
melancholia on the one hand, and, on the 
other hand, ordinary fear, worry, resent- 
ment, depression, grumpiness, and so on. 
* * * * 

Those who wish to study the effects of 
these states of mind more fully, can con- 
sult Elmer Gates' "The Mind and the 
Brain," or William S. Sadler's "Phy- 
siology of Faith and Fear," both quoted 
in my book.* Professor Elmer Gates, of 

* "Economy of Energy." 

[ii] 



KEEP HAPPY 

the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, 
says : — 

"My experiments show that irascible, 
malevolent, and depressing emotions gen- 
erate in the system injurious compounds, 
some of which are extremely poisonous; 
also that agreeable, happy emotions gen- 
erate chemical compounds of nutritious 
value, which stimulate the cells to manu- 
facture energy. . . . 

"If an evil emotion is dominant, then 
during that period the respiration contains 
volatile poisons, which are expelled 
through the breath and are characteristic 
of these emotions. 

"Wearisome, unpleasant memories 
weaken health, and do not generate 
thought energy. Cure is accomplished in 
expelling these by another crop of wholly 
pleasant memories, which put the neces- 

[12] 



KEEP HAPPY 

sary structures of the mind in systematic 
order and teach the patient how to use the 
mental faculties" 

Therefore, keep happy. 

On page 40 of "Economy of Energy" 
will be found a summary of some results of 
states of mind : — 

"They affect:— 

"The heart, and the circulation — both 
its rate , and its distribution of blood; (un- 
favourable states of mind tend to anaemia 
or dysxmia, or to congestion, etc.). 

"The actual chemical condition of the 
blood and the lymph. 

"The lungs, and the rhythm and the ful- 
ness of the breathing, and the amount of 
oxygen inhaled, and of carbonic acid gas, 
etc., exhaled. 

"The digestive and 'assimilative' organs 
and functions. 

[13] 



KEEP HAPPY 

"The curative energies of the body; 
which include: — 

"The excretory organs — the bowels, 
kidneys, skin, etc. (Thus fear may act 
as a diuretic.) 

"The muscular system in general (as 
when it is paralysed by fear — for instance, 
when one feels 'all of a tremble'). 

"The appearance — the attitude, the 
position of the organs, the expression of 
the face, etc. 

"The voice — its tone and timbre, and 
the words used or repressed. 

"The nervous system — partly in- 
fluenced indirectly by the altered breath- 
ing, and by the blood, and by the effects of 
the state of mind upon the Solar Plexus. 

"The energy and endurance. 

"The poise, and ease of self-mastery, 
self -recovery, and self-direction. 

[14] 



KEEP HAPPY 

"The brain — the clearness of thought, 
etc. 

"The influence of the person on others 
— especially in the immediate neighbour- 
hood. 

"The direction and bias of the mind in 
the future,, states of mind tending to be- 
come habitual apart from the active will" 

Therefore, keep happy. 

"Anxiety (which includes fear) saps 
more life in a day than work does in a 
week." Anxiety is unnecessary, unpro- 
ductive, destructive work. It is hard 
work. It is sinful work. 

We must remember how prevalent are 
the states of mind in which fear is one of 
the factors. For fear is a factor in worry, 
and usually even in anger, and in depres- 
sion. These words from M. J. M. Hick- 
son's "Healer" are worth reading: — 

[15] 



KEEP HAPPY 

"We have very seldom reflected upon 
the fact that fear runs like a baleful thread 
through the whole web of our life from be- 
ginning to end. We are born into the 
atmosphere of fear and dread, and the 
mother who bore us had lived in the same 
atmosphere for weeks and months before 
we were born. We are surrounded in in- 
fancy and childhood by clouds of fear and 
apprehension on the part of our parents, 
nurses, and friends. As we advance in 
life, we become instinctively, or by ex- 
perience, afraid of almost everything. 
We are afraid of our parents, afraid of 
our teachers, afraid of our playmates, 
afraid of ghosts, afraid of rules and regu- 
lations and punishments, afraid of the 
doctor, the dentist, the surgeon. Our 
adult life is a state of chronic anxiety, 
which is fear in a milder form. We are 
afraid of failure in business, afraid of dis- 

[16] 



KEEP HAPPY 

appointments and mistakes, afraid of 
enemies, open or concealed; afraid of 
poverty, afraid of public opinion, afraid 
of accidents, of sickness, of death, and un- 
happiness after death. Man is like a 
haunted animal, from the cradle to the 
grave, the victim of real or imaginary 
fears, not only his own, but those reflected 
upon him from the superstitions, self-de- 
ceptions, sensory illusions, false beliefs, 
and concrete errors of the whole human 
race, past and present. 

"Fear not only affects the mind and the 
nervous and muscular tissues, but the 
molecular chemical transformations of the 
organic network, even to the skin, the hair, 
and the teeth. This might be expected of 
a passion that disturbs the whole mind, 
which is represented or externalised in the 
whole body. 

"How does fear operate upon the body 

[17] 



KEEP HAPPY 

to produce sickness? By paralysing the 
nerve centres, especially those of the vaso- 
motor nerves, thus producing not only 
muscular relaxation, but capillary con- 
gestions of all hinds. This condition of 
the system invites attach, and there is no 
resilience or power of resistance. The 
gates of the citadel have been opened from 
within, and the enemy may enter at any 
point" 

Therefore keep happy. 

First because, once again, non-happi- 
ness is a mistake. It acts, as I said just 
now, in a vicious circle, increasing itself. 
It poisons the blood, and this very poison- 
ing tends to produce more non-happiness. 
It radiates itself, and is infectious. It 
inclines to become a fixed and subcon- 
scious habit. It sinks down into the sub- 
conscious self, and afterwards expresses 

[18] 



KEEP HAPPY 

itself in various ways which (as Psycho- 
analysts show) are not usually associated 
with their true mental cause. It is toxic, 
and produces non-health and non-effi- 
ciency, by wasting power and force; by 
bringing fatigue; by encouraging bad 
sleep; by injuring the whole body; by 
cramping the energies; by "distracting" 
the body and mind, and thus hindering 
concentration; by impeding the circula- 
tion, and the elimination of waste-matters; 
and by upsetting the rhythm and the deep- 
ness and thoroughness of the breathing, 
and all the vibrations of the physical sys- 
tem. Besides, it is ugly. It militates 
against financial success, and against 
social success — for who wants a non- 
happy acquaintance? — and against intel- 
lectual success. 

Consider this. Non-happiness is liable 

[19] 



KEEP HAPPY 

to make one's work poor and inferior, dif- 
ficult, tiring, and wanting in foresight and 
in perspective. 

It does not help. As Ian Maclaren 
said: 

"What does your anxiety do? It does 
not empty to-morrow, brother, of its sor- 
row; but ah! it empties to-day of its 
strength. It does not make you escape 
the evil; it makes you unfit to cope with it 
if it comes/' 

Therefore, keep happy. 

On the moral and ethical side, non-hap- 
piness, especially in the form of worry, is 
cowardly, unbalanced, against moral con- 
sistency and persistency, against self-con- 
trol and self-mastery, and very unkind to 
others. 

Therefore, keep happy. 

Non-happiness shortens life, and brings 

[20] 



KEEP HAPPY 

premature, incompetent, burdensome old 
age. 

It is selfish, in the worst sense of the 
word ; for there is a selfishness that is 
altruistic. 

It harms posterity, as — among other 
proofs — we see from the influence of a 
mother upon her babe before as well as 
after birth. 

It makes us less independent and less 
free. Therefore, keep happy. 

How Happiness Helps 

Happiness, by the "expulsive power" of 
a positive state of mind, drives .out or 
neutralises or cancels non-happiness, in- 
stead of the mind being left open to the 
seven other devils, as it may be when we 
merely try not to be non-happy. The 
happy heart is too full for non-happiness, 

[21] 



KEEP HAPPY 

as the light room is too light for darkness. 
As Mr. A. Knight says, Happiness fills 
the heart with its three companions, 
Health, Harmony, and Helpfulness. 

Therefore, keep happy. 

Happiness works in the opposite of the 
vicious circle. It makes for greater hap- 
piness. It is self-increasing. Among 
other reasons, it purifies and invigorates 
the blood, and this in itself inclines the 
mind towards further and greater Happi- 
ness. It creates the habit of Happiness, 
the bias towards Happiness. It stores 
the memory with Happiness, for future 
use. Prospectively, Happiness must be 
valued as a great asset. 

Therefore, keep happy. 

Happiness does not merely aid in re- 
moving mental and physical Non-Health, 
in such forms as depression and fear, 
"nerves" and their troubles, fatigue, sleep- 

[22] 



KEEP HAPPY 

lessness or bad sleep, bad circulation, con- 
gestion, and so on. It actually produces 
positive Health, Well-being, and Fitness, 
as well as increased Self-Healing and 
"Preventive" Power. 

Therefore, keep happy. 

Think of the letter E alone. Hap- 
piness tends to Health, in its various as- 
pects : — 

Enjoyment of life and of all that life 
brings us ; 

Energy — for Health gives a tonic with- 
out reaction ; 

Economy — for, when we are happy, we 
need neither drugs nor stimulants nor 
narcotics nor holidays; Happiness saves 
vast stores of precious power, both physi- 
cal and mental ; 

Endurance — what long hours we can 
work when we are happy ; 

Ease; 

[23] 



KEEP HAPPY 

Efficiency ; 

Therefore, keep happy. 

Happiness brings the right vibrations 
throughout the mind and body, partly 
through the Solar Plexus and the Sym- 
pathetic Nervous System. Only lately 
have we begun to realise the importance 
of the rate and character of vibrations. 
Let the same elements vibrate differently, 
and we have ice or water or steam. We 
know the full and elastic firmness and re- 
silience of faith, the shrunken and para- 
lysed trembling of fear. It is largely a 
difference of vibrations. Happiness has 
the most desirable vibrations. 

Happiness means that we inhale more 
life-giving and cleansing oxygen, and ex- 
hale more carbonic acid and other waste 
matter. 

Happiness means that we have better 
sleep, and can do with less sleep. 

[24] 



KEEP HAPPY 

Happiness means improved circulation. 
It keeps the body warm in winter and cool 
in summer. It relieves the physical heart. 

Therefore, keep happy. 

Happiness gives better looks. It 
makes the eyes brighter, the complexion 
clearer, the step more vigorous, the car- 
riage more upright. 

And, generally, Happiness makes 
people more attractive. It has a marked 
social value. 

Therefore, keep happy. 

Financially, . Happiness pays. The 
happy salesman or saleswoman is more 
persuasive. The happy person gets and 
keeps more friends, who will like to help 
him, if only because his Happiness helps 
them. James Coates says: 

"Smile at your business, and it will 
smile back. Follow the light of that 
smile." 

[25] 



KEEP HAPPY 

Therefore, keep happy. 

Intellectually, Happiness helps us to 
see with surer clearness and foresight. 
Happiness helps us to solve our problems 
rightly. Happiness gives us more under- 
standing and more intuition. Happiness 
makes us more receptive to the best ideas. 
Happiness puts us in better perspective. 
Happiness, once again, increases our 
mental energy, endurance, ease, and 
effectiveness. 

These quotations from C. D. Larson are 
excellent. He says: — 

"Just be glad, and you always will be 
glad. You will have better reasons to be 
glad. You will have more and more 
things to make you glad. 

"When you are tempted to feel dis- 
couraged or disappointed, be glad instead. 
Just be glad, and your fate will change. 
Know that you can be glad, say that you 

[26] 



KEEP HAPPY 

will, and stand uncompromisingly upon 
your resolve. When things are not to 
your liking, be glad nevertheless, for the 
glad heart can cause all things to be as we 
wish them to be. When things do not 
give you pleasure, proceed instead to 
create pleasure in your own heart and soul. 

"It is the law that all good things will 
sooner or later come and be where the 
greatest happiness is to be found. There- 
fore, be happiness in yourself, regardless 
of times, seasons, or circumstances. 

"It is the man who blends rejoicing with 
his work who does the best work. It is 
profitable in every way to learn to be glad. 

"The happier you are over what has 
come to you, the more and the more will 
come to you in the future. The glad heart 
and the cheerful soul always make things 
better. 

"Give gladness to your mind, and you 

[27] 



KEEP HAPPY 

give clearness to your mind; and a clear 
mind can see how to evolve better plans" 

In the moral and ethical and spiritual, 
as in the intellectual and financial and 
social spheres, Happiness is a precious and 
integral factor in success and progress. 
We might almost say that Happiness in- 
cludes the much-praised virtues of Cour- 
age, Persistence, and Poise, and goes far 
towards Self-Control and Self-Mastery. 

Therefore, keep happy. 

It is kind to others to keep happy. 
Happiness tends to Forgiveness (not of 
the usual perfunctory and "I-forgive-but- 
I-can't-forget" type), Goodwill, and 
pleasant Warmth as of the sunshine. 

Therefore, keep happy. 

Happiness tends to the right sort of 
Youthf ulness — the Youthf ulness in which 
we have all the merits of "little children," 
together with the wisdom of elders. 

[28] 



KEEP HAPPY 

Therefore, keep happy. 

Happiness makes our life longer — not 
like the life of an aged person who may 
be a burden upon the earth, living in name 
only, and almost as a vampire lives, but a 
life of increasingly-useful length. 

Therefore, keep happy. 

For Happiness is non-selfish. 

But non-selfishness, after all, is a nega- 
tive. 

Happiness doe's indeed include negative 
merits, but it is also positive and radiating 
and infectious. When we ask what we 
can do for others, one answer is, we 
can keep happy. Here, again, Larson's 
words are to the point: — 

"He who is always glad is always 
adding to the welfare of every member of 
the race. The great soul is always in 
search of ways and means for adding to 

[29] 



KEEP HAPPY 

the welfare of others. But no way is 
better, greater, or more far reaching than 
this. To be glad at all times is to be of 
greater service to mankind than any other 
thing we can do. Consider how all things 
change when the glad soul arrives, and 
how all work becomes lighter when the 
spirit of joy is abroad. And every man 
has the power to dispense the spirit of joy 
wherever he may work or live. 

"Work in the spirit of joy, and your 
work will be the product of joy — a rare 
product — the best of its kind. 33 

Therefore, keep happy. 

To help all those with whom you live, 
\and many beyond this narrow circle, keep 
happy. 

To help your children and posterity, 
whether you already are or are going to be 
a father or mother, keep happy. 

The relation of a parent (or of any one 

[80] 



KEEP HAPPY 

who has charge of children) to children, 
illustrates well how our states of mind re- 
act upon ourselves. Be happy with chil- 
dren, and you make them happier, 
healthier, pleasanter to be with, easier to 
train. When they are in this favourable 
condition, you yourself, in turn, have more 
Happiness and health, partly because 
your work is more delightful and more 
successful. And so your Happiness is 
self -increasing as well as self -radiating. 

CD. Larson, from whose book I have 
already quoted, says, in another book : — 

"Make it a point to be happy, just as 
you make it a point to be clean, to be pre- 
sentable, to be properly dressed, to work 
well, to be efficient. Make the attainment 
of continuous happiness and greater hap- 
piness a permanent part of your strongest 
ambition/* 

Real Happiness is a power within one- 

[31] 



KEEP HAPPY 

self, not dependent on circumstances; at 
least not dependent when it has become 
a habit. He who has Happiness is like 
a magic plant that bears beautiful and 
shade -giving and health -giving leaves, 
beautiful and sweet-smelling flowers, 
beautiful and refreshing and cleansing 
fruit, wherever it is, and without the aid 
of special soil, air, light, warmth, and rain. 
For it has, as it were, its own subtle, 
ethereal, and eternal soil and air and light 
and warmth and rain within itself. 

Therefore, keep happy. 

The Gospel of Happiness — the word 
"Gospel" once meant "good news," but 
now has lost much of its gladdening vital- 
ity — is, when we examine deeply and 
widely, "perspectively" and prospectively, 
sound Philosophy and sound Religion. 
To the devout Hindu, God is not only 
"Wisdom, Love, Might," but also Bliss. 

[32] 



KEEP HAPPY 

Sat Ohit Ananda meant Lasting Reality, 
True Knowledge, and Blissful Happi- 
ness. A Perfect God — and this applies 
whether we believe in a Personal Being or 
not, for an Impersonal Being cannot 
easily be imagined as sad! — cannot surely 
be sad; and we are told to become perfect 
as God is Perfect. 

We are often recommended to fill the 
mind with healthy, invigorating, purifying 
thoughts. This, again, is a New Testa- 
ment Commandment. The words in the 
ordinary rendering of Philippians, iv. 8, 
do not bring out the vitality and force and 
verve of the Greek words, but they give 
the general idea : — 

"Whatsover things are true, whatsoever 
things are honest, just, pure, lovely, of 
good report; if there be any virtue, and if 
there be any praise, think of these things." 

It is a Commandment to attend to — to 

[33] 



KEEP HAPPY 

fill the mind by repetition with — eternally 
true ideas, ideas that command respect, 
ideas that are right, ideas that are clean 
and pure, ideas that are welcome and 
sweet; ideas that have words of good 
omen, ideas of manliness and womanli- 
ness, ideas of praise and appreciation. 

Therefore, think of Happiness: keep 
happy. 

In keeping happy, we obey the fre- 
quently reiterated Commandment to "Re- 
joice," and, without any special attention 
to the negative and prohibitive Command- 
ments not to worry, and not to be angry, 
and not to be unkind, and not to criticise 
unkindly, and so forth, we, ipso facto, 
obey these Commandments as well, just 
as the person who is encouraged and in- 
spired does not need to be comforted in 
so-called "misfortune." 

Therefore, keep happy. 

[34] 



KEEP HAPPY 

Happiness helps you. "It is profitable 
in every way to learn to be glad." 

Happiness helps yourself and others, 
and hurts none. 

"No selfish heart can really be glad/ 3 

Happiness is the right thing to keep. 
Happiness is our duty, and is "good 
form." 

Happiness increases itself. 

"The more things you are glad for, the 
more things you will have to be glad for. 
Gladness is a magnet. Because you were 
glad, even when there was nothing to make 
you glad, you proved that you deserved 
everything that has the power to make you 
glad. And that which we truly deserve 
must come to remain as our own. Possess 
gladness, and you will soon possess those 
things that produce gladness/ 3 

But how? 



[35] 



KEEP HAPPY 

How to Keep Happy 

It is so easy to say to others, or to our- 
selves, Keep happy. But how keep 
happy? 

Here are a few out of many helps. 

People will ask, "What about trying 
eircumstances ? How can we keep happy 
under, or in them, whether they be past or 
present or future?" 

I was much struck by a phrase in a little 
book I read some time ago. It described 
how someone, who was going to an un- 
pleasant interview, was told: — "Go to the 
man, taking God with you." A good 
piece of general advice is to welcome the 
circumstances as one would welcome either 
a strong opponent or a severe handicap at 
a game — namely, as a privilege and an oc- 
casion for bringing out (as a great player 
said) "one's best game." I think a 

[36] 



KEEP HAPPY 

"handicap" is an excellent description. 
For what true sportsman resents a handi- 
cap? 

Turn the Mind to Blessings, 

or think of your own blessings, not only in 
the past, but also in the present. Think 
of tall the conveniences of civilisation. 
Then, if you like, contrast the hardships of 
primitive times — with no books, no travel- 
ling facilities, no sanitation! 

Think of blessings, and keep happy. 

Think of the blessings of others. Any- 
thing is better than giving attention to 
supposed injuries and hardships, and to 
sorrows, and resenting or bemoaning 
them. 

or to Reasoning 

When things seem amiss, then is the 
time to give all your thoughts the upward 

[37] 



KEEP HAPPY 

direction. Keep happy. Hold on to 
Happiness, not like grim death but like 
irrepressible life. 

Remember that "everything serves 
some useful purpose." If you refuse to 
keep happy, at least determine to find out 
the useful purpose. But, as soon as you 
can, come back to yourself, and keep 
happy. 

Help Others 

Help others. This is the old and ever 
new way. As Maeterlinck says : 

"Before we can bring happiness to 
others, we must first be happy ourselves. 
Nor will happiness abide within us unless 
we confer it on others. If there be a smile 
upon our lips, those around us will soon 
smile too; and our happiness will become 
the truer and deeper as we see that these 
others are happy" 

[SB] 



KEEP HAPPY 

Therefore, keep happy by helping oth- 
ers. We can help others by our thoughts 
— by wishing them to be well and happy 
and successful, or by imagining them to be 
well and happy and successful. We can 
help them by all our expressions — our 
words, our looks, our acts — and by our 
very abstinence from non-happiness. 

Abstain from Thoughts against Others 
and against Self 

Merely to send out no thoughts and to 
harbour no thoughts against other per- 
sons or things, or against ourselves, is a 
step in the right direction. I once saw 
hornets destroyed by a man who stood 
over the nest and, as each hornet came 
out, knocked it down and killed it by 
a blow from a little wooden bat. So we 
can beat down any undesirable thought — 

[39] 



KEEP HAPPY 

of worry or failure or resentment, etc. — 
so that it ceases to live and poison us or 
others. 

But still this is negative. It is not 
positive and constructive. To keep 
happy, we must fill the glass, drop by 
drop, with the sparkling and fresh water 
of Happiness; and then the dirty water 
will automatically trickle away, and — who 
knows? — somehow become a kind of 
mental manure and fertiliser. 

"Self-Suggestion" 

Self- Suggestion is a great help, if we 
would keep happy. We can tell ourselves 
to keep happy, in the same way as Peter 
Latham, at a hard and critical point in 
one of his Professional Championship 
Matches, kept not only happy but also 
plucky by telling himself to "buck up," 

[40] 



KEEP HAPPY 

as this was the chance to bring out his 
best game ! 

Self- Suggestion has many forms and 
varieties. Henry Wood, in his "Ideal 
Suggestion Through Mental Photog- 
raphy," advises us to write down in- 
spiring "Self- Suggestions," and to look at 
them often. Leland, in his "Have You a 
Strong Will?" advises us to determine, the 
last thing at night, that the next day we 
will, for example, work calmly and easily 
and successfully. I myself find that now 
one form of Self-Suggestion is most 
effective, now another. It may be Imagi- 
nation or Realisation or Assertion, or it 
may be a quiet order to the Servant Mind 
or Manager Mind, or it may be a strongly- 
felt and repeated Desire, or it may be 
nearer to Silence and Receptivity, to- 
gether with "the attitude of expectancy." 

Self -suggestion is feasible at all times 

[41] 



KEEP HAPPY 

and in all places. It is unobtrusive. It 
is "without money and without price." 
It is effective. It tends to become a sub- 
conscious habit, and, as it were, to "do 
itself" without our attention. 

To keep happy, we can use happy 
words. Words have vast and little ap- 
preciated power. Think how useless we 
should be as regards our power of con- 
trolling ourselves and helping ourselves 
and helping others, if we had no words! 
It would be easy to write a long book on 
this aspect of the Art of Happiness, alone. 
But I must be content with just one idea. 

We should speak with a cheerful voice 
and tone, as well as with a cheerful face; 
and we should prefer, to such words of ill 
omen as "miserable" and "cruel," words 
that end rightly, such as un-happy and un- 
kind — words that leave us with the right 
and happy notion. Conversely, however, 

[42] 



KEEP HAPPY 

when we are — or think that we are — ab- 
solutely obliged to mention some un- 
pleasant episode, in order to get others to 
help to put it right, we must not use such 
vivid expressions — we must not speak 
whiningly nor even keenly. This is pre- 
eminently the occasion for such a monoto- 
nous and expressionless voice, as is un- 
usually put on by a Secretary when read- 
ing the minutes of any previous meeting! 

Can we not speak of pleasant things 
with the excitedness of the French, if in- 
deed we wish to be excited at all ; but speak 
of unpleasant things, if we feel we must 
speak of them, with the apathy of the 
Hindu? 

When you have finished any Self-Sug- 
gestion, be sure to keep happy. 

To keep happy, we must use Repeti- 
tions of Self- Suggestions and of Happy 
Words, and we must use them long before 

[43] 



KEEP HAPPY 

we seem to need them. In place of the old 
adage, "In time of peace prepare for 
war," one can substitute, "In time of peace 
prepare for victory" — and then there will 
be no real war. 

Persistent Repetitions 

The persistent Repetitions may be in 
the form of sheer repetitions; or in the 
form of Synonyms — such as Happiness, 
Gladness, Enjoyment, Joy, Welcome; or 
in the form of cognate words, words that 
suggest not so much Happiness itself, as 
the father and mother, the brothers and 
sisters, the sons and daughters, of Happi- 
ness. Thus, to take the letter P alone, it 
has a decided effect upon our feelings of 
Happiness to repeat, with as much atten- 
tion to and realization of the idea and the 
inner spirit and soul of each word, as pos- 

[44] 



KEEP HAPPY 

sible, the words Purity, Poise, Peace, 
Plenty, Power, Pluck, Pleasantness. 

As to the influence of Repetition, we 
must remember that we are mainly what 
our sub-conscious mind is; and our sub- 
conscious mind is largely what our con- 
scious mind has chosen or allowed itself to 
think, and what our conscious mind every 
moment — every now — is choosing or al- 
lowing itself to think. 

Or, instead of repeating the ideas them- 
selves or the words that can convey them, 
we can keep happy by Reason and Argu- 
mentation. While an Assertion like 
Robert Browning's, 

"God's in His Heaven, 
All's right with the world," 

will help some, a recalling of the advan- 
tages of Happiness — or if the disadvan- 
tages of Non-Happiness — and a working 

[45] 



KEEP HAPPY 

out of the ways in which the past 
"failures" of ourselves and others turned 
into blessings, will help others. I remem- 
ber how disappointed I was when I did not 
get a Fellowship at Cambridge. I am 
now very glad that I did not. What 
seemed a calamity led to my present work, 
which enables me to keep happy. As a 
fossilised Don I should not have kept 
happy! 

Appreciation and Welcome 

We should go far towards keeping 
happy, also, if we practised Appreciation. 
We breathe fresh air, drink pure water, 
see glorious scenery, or architecture, and 
so forth, without a tithe of the proper en- 
joyment which would come from the 
proper valuation — for instance, of the 
water as refreshing us, satisfying us, help- 

[46] 



KEEP HAPPY 

ing our assimilation of nourishing food, 
helping our elimination of toxic waste 
matter, and symbolising much besides. 

It is far better to approach any persons 
or things or circumstances that are ours — 
they would not come to us, or we to them, 
unless they were ours! — in the spirit of 
Welcome, and in the true and sporting 
Play Spirit, than in the spirit of discon- 
tent. 

So keep happy by Appreciation. 

Laugh 

Some people have a genius for seeing 
the funny side of so-called "misfortunes," 
like the Chinaman who could not control 
his laughter, just before his execution, be- 
cause they were going to hang the wrong 
man. In a little booklet called "Fifty 
Years not Old," I wrote: — 

[47] 



KEEP HAPPY 

"Laughing is a capital relief for un- 
pleasant mental states, as well as fine ex- 
ercise for the stomach and liver! Democ- 
ritus, the laughing and smiling philoso- 
pher, may have carried his excellent prin- 
ciple to excess; but he was a safer guide 
than the weeping and moaning philoso- 
pher. 

"It is worth while to collect cartoons 
and cuttings from the 'Daily Mirror' 
'Punch/ and other papers, and to look 
through them when the dumps try to dom- 
inate/' 

Laughing and smiling can come under 
muscular control, no less than walking and 
sitting — no less than frowning and 
grumbling. We can tense or relax 
muscles. We can equally easily laugh or 
smile. And the mere muscular action will 
help the mind and the feelings to be free 
from non-happiness. 

[48] 



KEEP HAPPY 

There are, of course, wrong kinds of 
laughter and smiling. I read a book de- 
voted almost entirely to the abuse of 
laughter and smiling. But the right 
kinds are as valuable as they are rare. 

Several people that I know have the 
supreme art of making troubles almost 
blessings by catching at once the ludicrous 
aspect — going round to the other side and 
seeing things from a different approach. 
And sometimes, entering into the trou- 
ble by the Gate of Humour, they find 
that the trouble is not a torture-cham- 
ber but a factory of Success and Happi- 
ness. 

The right laugh and smile is an expres^ 
sion of real Faith; and, as we have seen, 
the expression, if persevered in, tends to 
bring the reality. 



[49] 



KEEP HAPPY 

The Power of Imagination 

And keep happy by Imagination. 
How exhilarating it is to imagine oneself 
succeeding in one's favourite game, or in 
one's business or art or hobby. Such 
imagination is far better than the memory 
of defeats, except in so far as the latter 
helps us to correct our faults. 

The Power of Expression 

Then there is the Art of Expression, 
advocated by Delsarte and William 
James. The latter, in his "Talks on 
Psychology," may not be strictly accurate 
and scientific, but at any rate he is prac- 
tically useful, when he says : 

"If we only check a cowardly impulse in 
time — for example, or if we only don't 
strike the blow or rip out with the com- 

[50] 



KEEP HAPPY 

plaining or insulting word that we shall 
regret as long as we live — our feelings 
themselves will presently be the calmer 
and better, with no particular guidance 
from us on their own account. Action 
seems to follow feeling, but really action 
and feeling go together; and by regulating 
the action, which is under the more direct 
control of the will, we can indirectly regu- 
late the feeling, which is not. 

"Thus the sovereign voluntary path to 
cheerfulness, if our spontaneous cheerful- 
ness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully, to look 
round cheerfully, and to act and speak as 
if cheerfulness were already there. If 
such conduct does not make you soon feel 
cheerful, nothing else on that occasion can. 
So, to feel brave, act as if we were brave, 
use all our will to that end, and a courage- 
fit will very likely replace the fit of fear. 
Again, in order to feel kindly toward a 

[51] 



KEEP HAPPY 

person to whom we have been inimical, the 
only way is more or less deliberately to 
smile, to make sympathetic inquiries, and 
to force ourselves to say genial things. 
One hearty laugh together will bring 
enemies into a closer communion of heart 
than hours spent on both sides in inward 
wrestling with the mental demon of un- 
charitable feeling. To wrestle with a bad 
feeling only pins our attention on it, and 
keeps it still fastened in the mind: whereas, 
if we act as if from some better feeling, the 
old bad feeling soon folds its tent like an 
Arab, and silently steals away." 

An equally good quotation (from 
Luther Gulick's "Mind and Work") will 
be found on pages 26-27 of "Economy of 
Energy." 

He says : 

"Assume the bodily positions and move- 
ments and manners and tones of voice that 

[52] 



KEEP HAPPY 

belong to the emotional state you desire/' 
Now the Expression — as the smile that 
is the expression of Happiness — may not 
be the cause of Happiness, but at least it 
is the usual accompaniment, if not the 
essential accompaniment, of ordinary 
Happiness. 

The eyes are among the most obvious 
means of Expression, as is illustrated in 
the well-known lines: — 

"Smile j once in a while, 
'Twill make your heart seem lighter; 

Smile, once in a while, 
J Twill make your pathway brighter. 
Life's a mirror: if we smile, 

Smiles come back to greet us; 
If we're frowning all the while, 

Frowns forever meet us." 

The whole face is a part of our Expres- 

[53] 



KEEP HAPPY 

sion — not only the eyes, but also the 
mouth, and the lines, which are largely 
under the ultimate control of the will, 
through the control of the muscles. 

And there is the whole attitude of the 
body, the up-holding of the chest and the 
head, the correct curve of the spine (so as 
to bring the position of "mechanical ad- 
vantage" and physical and nervous econ- 
omy), the deepness and fulness and 
rhythm of the breathing, the laugh, the 
song (sung aloud or "sung silently"), 
and the tone and the "tune" and the timbre 
of the voice. 

Uses of Odd Moments 

What we seldom realise is that, no less 
than we can move our biceps, we can move 
our muscles that regulate our Expression. 
If people can spend 15 minutes daily over 

[54] 



KEEP HAPPY 

a dull — and often almost useless, if not 
actually stiffening and harmful — grinding 
series of spring-grip dumb-bell exercises, 
why will they not spend a few moments 
at some one time daily, or many (other- 
wise wasted or misused) moments at fre- 
quent intervals throughout the day, in 
exercising the muscles that regulate their 
Expression — in lifting up their heart (and 
chest and head) and in laughing or smil- 
ing, so as to keep happy? 

Besides the Expression, as an easy ave- 
nue to Happiness, there is another — 
rather less easy — avenue in the improve- 
ment of the state of the Health in general, 
and the state of the Blood in particular, 
through more sensible Foods and Feeding, 
Drinks, Water-treatments, and Exercise 
and Exercises — especially Breathing. 



KEEP HAPPY 

Various Avenues to Better Health 

Some principles and details will be 
found in various books.* There is no 
space here for more than a few sug- 
gestions. 

Better Foods and Drinks 

Years ago, the late Dr. Forbes Ross 
told me that, when he was medical superin- 
tendent of a certain Asylum, he found 
that the patients were very violent on 
Thursday afternoons. On Thursdays, at 
the mid-day meal, they had Beef -Extract. 
He forbade this, and at once the Thursday 
afternoon violence ceased. In my own 
case, the depression of years ceased when 
I gave up flesh-foods and meat-extracts 
more than 23 years ago. 

* For instance — "Economy of Energy," "How to Be- 
gin a Change of Diet," "First Recipes," "Health with- 
out Meat," "The E.M. System of Physical Culture." 
[56] 



KEEP HAPPY 

This does not mean that such foods are 
a cause of non-happiness in all cases. 
Still less does it mean that they are the sole 
cause, or even the main cause, in all cases. 
Many haphazard 'Vegetarians" have been 
miserable. 

It rather means that some better Diet 
may be an important factor in Happi- 
ness. 

The general idea of Diet, for producing 
or increasing mental and physical Well- 
Being, which includes Happiness, would 
surely be to get first such a regime as shall 
clear out the clogging and depressing or 
irritating toxins and waste-matters, and 
shall not add to them, but shall re-build 
a clean and healthy body and mind by a 
better Balance of the various Food Ele- 
ments. 

The Drinks, in order to increase the 
Weil-Being and the subsequent Happi- 

[57] 



KEEP HAPPY 

ness, should be cleansing, and should in- 
clude the minimum of undesirable ele- 
ments (whether overstimulating, or nar- 
cotic). 

There is no need here to explain how 
Food and Drink affect the mind. We all 
know some of the depressing effects of 
"Liver," Indigestion, Constipation, etc., 
and the partial dependence of these 
troubles on the Food and Drinks. But 
few who have not studied the subject as 
I have been enabled to do, thanks partly 
to my work with the leading Clinical 
Analytical Expert, Mr. C. H. Collings,* 
could guess how some of the most common 
and respectable errors of Food and Drink 
— such as excess of starchy and sugary 
stuff, of fruit, of tea or coffee or cocoa, and 
so on — can produce non-Health and con- 

*See "The Uric Acid Fetish," "How Food Poisons 
Us. M 

[58] 



KEEP HAPPY 

sequent Non-Happiness, partly by affect- 
ing the Brain and the Solar Plexus 
through tissue-storage of toxins and 
Toxcemia or an acid and poisoned blood- 
stream. 

There are thousands who imagine that, 
because most of their "civilised" acquaint- 
ances regularly take certain meals as a 
matter of course, therefore these meals 
must of necessity be "all right" ; not know- 
ing that Nature does not withhold from 
us her results according to Law — often 
called her "punishments" — -merely be- 
cause large numbers of other individuals 
are making similar mistakes! To be 
orthodox in life is not the same thing as to 
be immune from the effects of orthodox 
mistakes. 

I could show letter after letter that tells 
how, beside better Foods and Drinks, 
simple Water-treatments, and various 

[59] 



KEEP HAPPY 

Exercises have tended to Health and 
Happiness. There are Exercises (like 
those in "Economy of Energy," pp. 79, 
83, 86, 87, 90, 94, 97) which help improve 
the Position of the body, the fulness and 
the rhythm of the Breathing, the economy 
of the muscles, by Relaxing and so forth. 
There are Stretching Exercises, Foot- 
Exercises, Trunk-Exercises, Athletic Ex- 
ercises, and so on. 

But one or two items must suffice here, 
as mere examples of how attention to 
physical acts may influence the state of the 
mind. 

Better Position; Better Breathing; Less 
Muscular Tension 

1. When the heart and lungs and 
stomach are sunk and sagged down, there 
is a tendency to mental as well as to phy- 

[60] 



KEEP HAPPY 

sical "depression." The right Exercises* 
— quite simple and easy — will draw the 
organs up into their normal place again, 
and thus will help to remove "the dumps" 
and bring Happiness. 

2. Happiness has its own type of 
Breathing ( as shown by the Pneumograph 
and the registering cylinder-drum) quite 
different from the type when there is fear 
or anger. If we establish as a habit the 
deepness and fulness and rhythm of the 
Breathing that goes with Happiness, we 
are half way towards removing Non-Hap- 
piness and getting Happiness itself. 

3. When there is anger or restless 
worry, there is, regularly, some muscular 
tension. Do away with this, and relax the 
muscles — the Art t can be taught and 
learnt — and the tendency is for the un-

satisfactory feelings themselves to dis- 
appear. 

A Warning about Stimulants with 
Re-action 

But, in physical "cures," we often have 
to distinguish carefully between the tem- 
porary effects and the ultimate effects. 
Too often there is recommended some way 
which produces almost immediate exhila- 
ration — or at least freedom from the sen- 
sation of worry or depression — by driving 
toxins etc., which had been in the blood 
and had thus tended towards depression, 
etc., not out of the body altogether, but 
only out of the blood and into the tissues, 
where, as Mr. Collings has been able to 
prove, they remain stored,* to work mis-

KEEP HAPPY 

chief in the body and blood and mind in 
the future. 

The passing sensations of ease, if not of 
positive -satisfaction, may be brought by 
such means as a cup of tea or coffee, some 
aspirin, a smoke, a cold bath, and so on. 
But this is not an avenue to Happiness. 
It is, rather, a patch that crosses the ave- 
nue to Happiness at one point, and then 
leaves it again. 

We Want the Habit of Happiness 

What we want is not the flash of Hap- 
piness at heavy expense of future Well- 
Being and Happiness, but the habit of 
Happiness. We want to keep happy. 
We want to sacrifice, if need be, the im- 
mediate present for the lasting future. 
As the author of "The Way of the 
Servant" says: 

[«3] 



KEEP HAPPY 

fC I do ash Renunciation of My children 
— Renunciation of the less" 

It is not every avenue to Happiness that 
is unpleasant at the start. But it is quite 
likely that certain treatments — especially 
abstinence from or moderation in various 
stimulants and narcotics — may be, for a 
time, far from producing any Happiness. 

When You are Happy, be Really Happy 

It is well known (see "Alison's History 
of Europe") that those who have lived for 
many years in hot climates are so satu- 
rated with warmth that they keep warm 
for some time after they have come into 
a cooler climate like ours. Somewhat 
similarly, whenever we are happy, if we 
let our whole self — every cell and atom 
within our body from tip to toe — become 
saturated with Happiness whenever we 

[64] 



KEEP HAPPY 

feel happy, we should be able to carry on 
the habit when the conditions seem less 
satisfactory ; we should still feel the glow. 
But we simply must be and feel happy 
"with all our mind and with all our soul 
and with all our strength," at the happy 
times. Without feverish excitement, we 
should thrill throughout with Happiness, 
and be happy "all over," as someone was 
said to smile all over ! It is a good phrase. 

For why not let all the cells and fibres 
enjoy themselves with us ? Why keep the 
Happiness — as if we were autocratic and 
despotic Monarchs, instead of Representa- 
tives of a Democratic Community — to 
ourselves? Why not let the cells all "re- 
joice with us that rejoice"? 

They will repay us a hundredfold in 
times of trouble and trial. They will 
then thrust back Happiness to us, as the 
roots of a plant thrust up stems and leaves 

[65] 



KEEP HAPPY 

and flowers in return for the warmth and 
light and air and moisture and chemicals 
that they have absorbed. 

If — as Virchow and many others hold — 
cells have some individuality and some 
intelligence, will they not respond to our 
Happiness, at least as much as you and I 
respond to the Happiness of our Nation 
and Empire when there is good news and 
success of the whole of which we form a 
particle? 

To enjoy an Environment, or the 
memory of it, is a pleasant Avenue. If, 
instead of rushing through our sweet holi- 
days and hours of peace and pleasantness, 
we "pause on every charm," and concen- 
trate our attention on the Pleasantness, 
we can make the Environment, on which 
so many people depend for their Health 
and Happiness, our own possession, 
within our minds, by means of picture- 
fee] 



KEEP HAPPY 

memories, or sound-memories, or even 
word-memories. Here is one, from J. 
Beattie: — 

"But who the melodies of mom can tell? 
The wild brook babbling down the 

mountain-side; 
The lowing herd, the sheepf old's simple 

bell; 
The pipe of early shepherd dim descried 
In the low valley; echoing far and wide 
The clamorous horn along the cliffs 

above; 
The hollow murmur of the ocean-tide; 
The hum of bees, the linnet's lay of love, 
And the full choir that wakes the uni- 
versal grove" 

After all, what is our real Environ- 
ment? Most people would say, at once — 
the air, the building, the scenery, in which, 
and the people and paraphernalia among 

[67] 



KEEP HAPPY 

which, we happen to be at any time. And 
these are indeed part of our Environment. 

But our true Environment is, first of 
all, the contents of our mind, and especially 
that part of the contents — whether mem- 
ories or imaginations — to which we give 
most attention and interest; secondly, the 
Divine influence in which, whether we 
recognise it or not, we "live and move and 
have our being." 

And, chiefly, we live in whatever we 
think of or allow ourselves not to refuse as 
residents in our mind. 

I have said little, in these few pages, 
about what are ordinarily regarded as En- 
vironmental helps. I rather wished to 
emphasise the importance of keeping 
happy, and of using such means as we had 
always or often with us. I could have 
written much about colours, music, books, 
friendship, and so on. But I had to leave 

[68] 



KEEP HAPPY 

unwritten far more than I have written 
here. 

If these ideas help the reader to keep 
happy more consistently, less spasmodic- 
ally, and more independently of outside 
conditions, they will have served their pur- 
pose. 

Perhaps even the mere titles of some 
books may be of use towards this end — 
"All's Right with the World," "Just Be 
Glad," and "Keep Happy." 

To keep happy means enjoyment and 
ease, peace and poise, health and fitness, 
during work-times and non-work times; 
it means more work and better work; it 
means better opportunities and openings 
for our activities in the future; it means 
better rest and sleep after work ; it means 
constant, all-round improvement for one- 
self and others. It is, like Health, part of 
our duty towards God, our neighbour, and 

[69] 



KEEP HAPPY 

our self, and the myriads of cell-lives 
working within us. 



A Concluding Suggestion 

It is not a bad plan to make a point of 
writing down every day (in a note-book, 
or on slips of paper) some special reason 
why we should keep happy. Mr. Arthur 
Knight and I have done this regularly for 
many months, and have exchanged our 
records from time to time. The following 
are a. few out of many of our reasons. 
They are not arranged in any particular 
order, but are put down just as we wrote 
them, from day to day. We recommend 
every reader to try the practice. 



Keep Happy. When happiness is 
present, the petty things of life fail to dis- 
turb and poison us. 

[70] 



KEEP HAPPY 

Keep Happy. This means living in 
the higher part of the mind, where the 
air and light and warmth are greater, and 
where all good things originate. Keep 
your thoughts in this happy region of 
yourself, and you will not only get the 
right ideas — the ideas that you really 
need — but you will draw other minds up 
to the same level. 

Keep Happy. The more you insist on 
— and persist in — keeping happy, the 
more you will realise and be convinced 
how absolutely and progressively bene- 
ficial Happiness is. 

Keep Happy, and the things that 
would, in the ordinary way, loom large 
and important, and upset our peace and 
poise, either fade into nothingness or else 
become obviously useful as training us to 
play the game of life. 

If we would be at our best, in body, 

[71] 



KEEP HAPPY 

mind, and spirit, we must keep happy. 
Gloom and sorrow lessen our power to be 
our best and to do our best. 

Keep Happy. There is nothing to be 
said against it. There is everything to be 
said in favour of it. 

Keep Happy. Happiness is as much a 
duty towards God, our "Neighbours," and 
ourselves, as is Purity or Kindness or any 
other Virtue, and Happiness makes every 
other Virtue easier and pleasanter. 

However good a physical or mental 
"system" you may follow, and however 
many excellent rules you may obey as to 
diet or exercise, and so on, the rule "Keep 
Happy" is found to be a good addition to 
your daily regime. 

Keep Happy. The happy spirit is a 
magnet, and draws all that is most pleas- 
ant and profitable from all sources to seek 
you and to become yours. 

[72] 



KEEP HAPPY 

Keep Happy when you are inclined to 
be ill-tempered or depressed or anxious. 
Then your sight and your perspective will 
change, and you will see the good in every 
one and every thing. 

Keep Happy, and give out Happiness. 
When we give out Happiness, we always 
receive more blessings than we give to 
others. 

Keep Happy. Difficulties and troubles 
enlarge through unhappiness, which is 
their fertilising manure. 

Keep Happy. To keep happy is good 
and God-like. 

Keep Happy. Whoever is happy, 
longs and tends to make all others happier 
and happier. 

Keep Happy. To keep happy is true 
heroism — no less so than any spasmodic 
act of courage. 

Keep Happy. Then every good 

[73] 



KEEP HAPPY 

quality within you will grow and flourish 
and multiply and radiate.
